It’s over for another year

Now we can get back to a normal routine and diet, once all the leftovers and takeouts are gone.  It just might take me close to a year to get my body back to normal but it was a fun time.  Thank you for all the blog comments and personal emails.  It is always sad not hearing from family on one’s birthday.  You all more that made up for it.

Usually we take the golf cart to the restaurant but last night we drove.  It was very chilly.  I can’t remember wearing pants to dinner before.

The first thing I saw when we arrived at RIcardo's Restaurant.

It has a lovely atmosphere.

The ceasar salad is always served with a fresh violet on top.

Of course we eat them. Our main was a delicious linguine with lobster and touches of asparagus.

A lovely birthday meal indeed and so perfect with home bring so close.  We are fortunate to have a restaurant like this right here in our park.

A great memory of the Isla.

    Hi, Contessa,

    I knew your birthday was coming up, but it slipped right by me yesterday. I am so sorry I am a little late in wishing you lots of joy on your special day(s.) I have just been a bit too self-focused because of my repair issues, and didn’t realize the time was here already.

    I am glad you and Colin got to enjoy your day. It sounded like a lovely celebration.

    xoxox,
    Suzanne
